Chapter 7: Post-Breakup
It has been a couple weeks after his breakup and Naruto was still upset about the whole thing. The said teenager was watching a show in living room, only to change the channels every five minutes absentmindedly until he hears a doorbell at the door. "I'm getting it." Naruto answered the door to see Bobby, "Hey, Bobby. If you're looking for Lori, she's out shopping at the mall."
"Yeah, I know." Bobby rubbed his neck, "I'm actually here for you."
"Oh?" Naruto raised his eyebrow at him.
"Lori told me that you were still down about um…" The Latino teenager scratched his upper arm, "You know? So I just want to drop by and check up on you, just to chat a bit." He glanced at the game console in other room, "And plays a couple games if you're down for it? Up for it? All for it?" He's not sure how to phase it right in this situation.
"Yeah, sure." The blonde teenager beckoned him to come in and they sit down on sofa, starting a random game as they grab controllers.
"So…" Bobby shoot several enemies on the screen, "How are you feeling?"
"Why asking when you already know how I feel right now?" Naruto rolled his eyes, "…I'm upset. It…" He looked around to make sure that his young siblings aren't around within earshot range, "Fucking suck." The Latino teenager hummed, "We just clicked at first then she just up and drop the bomb on me…Right before she left the city! That isn't right!"
"Oh, I'm with you there." Bobby nodded, he don't like it when someone dump someone else at last minute and he won't do that to his boo…Not that he would ever break up with a wonderful and beautiful girl in his whole life.
"Ugh…" The blonde teenager shot an enemy down then he kept shooting at same body as if he was taking his furious out on the poor virtual body, "I'm starting to think it was mistake to get in relationship right after meeting." Bobby open his mouth, only to close his mouth as he try to come up with a comment in this situation and he decide to play more to give Naruto some time. "…I'm so envious of you and Lori." He said, "That is your first relationship and you two are going strong." Lori didn't date anyone because of the family until Bobby come into her life.
"Yeah, we like each other right away and we know just like that." Bobby smiled at memory of their first meeting before he glances at him, "I just get lucky because you know Lori, she take everything serious and we both make an effort in this…You gotta know that not all first relationship work out and we gotta learn our mistake from that. It makes us grow as an individual."
"…From which show did you stole?" Naruto deadpanned at him.
"Um…" Bobby shoved his phone deeper down his pocket, "Nowhere, I just said it from my heart. Not from Lori. It's not like she's telling me some lines to make you feel better…" He finished with a nervous laughter.
"…Riiiight." The blonde teenager can't help but to chuckle lightly at his obvious lie.
"Anyway…" The Latino teenager cleared his throat several times, "While I don't know what it's like in your shoes, I just want you to know that I'm here for you as a friend."
"Thank, man." Naruto replied and they kept playing the game as they starting to make some small talks about random things, mostly avoiding romance stuff on Bobby's part because he don't want to bum Naruto out again by accident.
=line=
"Hey." The blonde teenager glanced over his shoulder to see Lori, "I heard Bobby stopped by earlier. Did he cheer you up?"
"A little." Naruto replied with a small shrug, "Thank for sending him here."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Lori adjusted her eyes away from him and he stare at her with corked eyebrow until a groan escape her lip. "Bobby gave it away, didn't he?"
"It was a little obvious." He said as his older sister shakes her head, "While he did say some cheesy lines that you gave him, I know he was doing it out of goodwill. I mean, he's this kind of guy who will check up on his friends if you don't tell him to come over."
"Yup, my bear-boo is so thoughtful and that's one of many reasons why I lo…" Lori was about to gush before she quickly covers her mouth as her eyes gaze at Naruto, "Um, I mean…Sorry…"
"It's alright." Naruto waved it off with a soft chuckle, "I'm not gonna be in dump again if someone mention romance stuff."
"Oh, that's good." Lori sat down next to him, "Because I was worrying that if I mention anything related to relationship, you'll break down."
"That would happen if it was a week ago." He replied, "Now? It only makes me feel a little upset but nothing major."
"I see." She picked the remote up with a hum before she select demand button, "Wanna watch a stupid mind-numbing B-movie?"
"Sure, but what about your date tonight?" Naruto muttered.
"It's not until seven." Lori glanced at clock above the television as she rent a cheesy zombie animal movie, "I'm waiting for Lincoln to come home so I can take him there."
"Why?" He raised his eyebrow at her confusingly.
"Ronnie." She replied, "He said something hurtful to her so I'm forced him to go on a double date."
"…Um…" Naruto's brows furrowed in pure confusion, why is she forcing their brother to go on a date because he hurt her feeling? He want to ask her that but Lori zoomed him out as soon as the movie start and his brain would shut down as soon as he watch the stupidest opening ever with a zombie snail chasing some people down a road. Her big sister loves these kinds of movie for some reason and he doesn't know why she picks this one out but it was her way to comfort him and he knows it.
Three hours later, he lie on his bed as he tosses and catch a baseball in air until the hatch lift and he look over to see Leni and Lola, carrying some small boxes. "Leni, Lola?" Naruto blinked at his approaching sisters as he pointed at the boxes, "What do you get there?"
"The best supplies…" Lola opened the lid to reveal beauty tools from facial mask to cleanse cream, "La Spa Supply!"
"Best way to detox and help you relax." Leni smiled goodheartedly, "We're gonna take all toxic out of you and make you feel better. Pretty too!"
"Um, I don't think I'm up for…" Naruto scratched his head with a sheepish chuckle and wearily smile before the princess wannabe force him to lie down on his back with a shove then she squeeze facial cream all over his face.
"Just let us do it." Lola rubbed the cream as he closed his eyes and mouth to prevent some extra cream from falling in.
"What color should I use?" The ditzy girl held an orange and pink nail polish bottles up, "Orange because it's his favorite or pink because it's best color?"
"No, we're not going to paint his nails." The young girl looked up at her older sister as Naruto's hand wave frantically, "Get the footbath out."
"Aw, okay." Leni pouted at them, grabbing the footbath box to open it.
"I'm putting cucumber slices so keep your eyes close." Lola placed two slices on his face before she asks him, "Do you feel a little tingling in your face now?"
"Yes." Naruto said carefully not to drip the cream inside his mouth as his ditzy sister placed his feet in mini spa bath, "But you two know that you don't have to do that, right?"
"Yes but you're our brother." Leni said, "My twin brother. Sis gotta help bro out when something major happen, like, a breakup."
"Yeah, and this Reggie bitch is so lucky that she get her ass out of the city before I get my mitts on her." The princess wannabe scowled with raised fist.
"Lola, language." The blonde teenager lifts his right slice up to give her a look for swearing, "I know this pageant contest was going to be a bad influence." He never likes it because there were some overzealous mothers who either force children into it or cuss out and it look like Lola has picked up some words.
"Sorry, but it's true." Lola crossed her arms with a scoff, "What kind of person does that to you right before they left the city?!"
"I thought we were supposed not to talk about her and these things?" Leni tilted her head at her young sister.
"…Oh." The princess wannabe glanced at her big brother worriedly before she quickly pull his hand out, "Nail painting! We gotta give you manicure first then paint them!"
"No paint, no paint!" Naruto cried out but his sisters just apply polish on him as they shower him with their attention and spa supplies.
A chant stir Naruto from his slumber and his right eye crack open to see a familiar outline of his goth sister, completed with a thick spellbook. "Lucy, what are you doing?" He asked her as he sneaks a glance from the corner of his eyes at the clock, ten minutes to eleven pm.
"I'm casting a spell on you." Lucy answered, "Once it's complete, you will become an undead and no longer experience the pain of heartbroken. Also, you will feel nothing but cold void."
"Ah…" Naruto sat up with a yawn as he turned lamp on before he looks at the goth girl, "I think I don't need a spell to cure my…Um…Ailment. Plus, I prefer living, you know, like un-undead."
"Are you sure?" She glanced up from her spellbook as he nodded, "Sigh. I was looking forward to having an undead brother."
"Sorry." He rolled his eyes at her amusedly as he lied back down, "Thank for trying, lil sis. You should go back to your room and sleep. It's way past your bedtime."
"Can I sleep with you?" Lucy asked and Naruto simply lift his blanket up to allow her crawl into his bed, resting her head on his chest with a snuggle. "Good night."
"Good night." Naruto replied, slowly fall asleep with her.
Lily was playing with her blocks in the living room until she squeal happily at sight of Naruto as he walk through the front door and to the base of stairs before she tilt her head with a concern coo as soon as she saw his depressed face. It was one of these days that made him feel depressed because of the breakup and today it just hit him out of blue. "Na-na." Lily push herself up off the floor and she wobble toward Naruto, saying 'Na-na' several times but Naruto didn't hear her at first as he climb the stairs. "NA-NA!" She called out loudly, which finally catch his attention and he look down to see her trying to lift her leg up on the first step.
"Lily!" Naruto quickly scoop her up, "That was dangerous! What if you get hurt?"
"Na-na, no sad." Lily cupped his cheek, "No sad. Na-na sad no!"
He stare into her doe eyes for few moments until a soft chuckle escape his smiling lip, "I'm not sad…" He hugged her as she wrapped her arms around his neck with a happy coo, "Not anymore. Thank, baby sis."
"Naruto, will you consume this pill?" Lisa walked up to her older brother as she held a pill up after he put Lily down in her crib for her naptime and Naruto raise his eyebrow at her in suspicion. "It's a harmless experimental pill for depression and your case is acceptable for it."
"That's thoughtful of you but no thank." Naruto messed her hair up, "I'm not very depressed, just little down. That's all."
"Are you certain?" She frowned slightly, out of concern and disappointed that he won't try her experimental pill…Which just disappeared a second later since she was used to her siblings rejecting her experiments.
"Positively." He suddenly picks her up to hug her, "All I need is just a hug."
"Ugh…" Lisa groaned, "A hug does not cure heartbroken symptom." Despite what she said, she doesn't fight back and just hug him back.
Lana race up to Naruto with one hand behind her back and she tug his pant leg to get his attention. "Lana, what is it?" He asked her with a tiny smile.
"Are you going sleep soon?" She asked.
"Yeah, do you…" Naruto was going to say something but she suddenly holds a frog up to him.
"Can Hopper sleep with you?" Lana muttered, "He'll make you feel better."
"You sure about that?" He crouched down to meet her eye level, "Hopper's your favorite pet."
"Yeah." She pushed Hopper into his hand with a nod, "That's why I want him to go with you for tonight." She hugged him, "Get better soon."
"I will." Naruto hugged back with a light chuckle and the young tomboy break it as she return to her room with a quick bye wave then he look at the croaking frog. "Well, let's hit the hay." He carefully climbs up the ladder with the creature in his right hand and went to bed after he put frog in a clean tank.
The next day, Naruto once again watch a random show on television until…"Hiya, Naruto!" Luan suddenly jumped onto sofa next to her brother with a wide opening grin as she held a thick book, "Do you know what cure blues? Pick-me-ups!" She laughed.
"…W-Was that the punchline?" Naruto looked at her weirdly, close enough to cringe.
"Yup, I'm still working on it." She giggled, "But first, I'm gonna cheer you up with the best jokes in history…" She opened her book with a clearing throat, "Someone stole my Microsoft Office and they're gonna pay. You have my Word!" She laughed, "Next one…Want to hear a word I just made up? Plagiarism!" They stared at each other, "Yeah, I didn't get this one…" She laughed again, "Went to the paper shop…It had blown away!"
"Luan, they're good." He put his hand on her shoulder, "But…Um…I don't think jokes are better choice in this situation. I mean, I'm not up for it at a moment."
"Oh, sorry." Luan's smile disappeared, "I guess I have to make like a tree and…"
"No, no, you can stay." Naruto quickly waved his hands at her, "It's just that…Um, while jokes can cheer anyone up anytime, there are some moment that a joke can't do anything..."
"I know, I know." The aspiring comedian muttered as she fidgeted with her hands, "I don't know how to help you out here and it's only one way I can do to cheer you up…"
"You're already helping me." He said as he placed his arm around her shoulder, "By being here and let me know that you get my back like others."
"Really, you mean it?" Luan glanced at him as he gave her a nod, "That's good, I guess."
"You guess?" Naruto raised his eyebrow at her.
"Yeah, I don't know anyone who is going through it like you." She replied, "If I know what to do, I would do it for you. You're my big brother and best prankster I ever know…" She grinned, "I mean, you come up with Corncob prank all on your own!"
"Yup, I take pride in this prank." He chuckled.
"Will you teach me how to do this one?" Luan wiggled her eyebrow at him.
"Nah, dad and mom will chew me out if I do that." Naruto smirked at his groaning sister and they chat about pranks and jokes, it seems like Luan managed to cheer him up in her own way.
He smells something good from kitchen and Naruto peek inside to check it, spotting Luna and their mother in front of a large pot on oven. "It smells good, what are you making?" He asked.
"Oh, hi, Naruto." Rita smiled over her shoulder, "We're making ramen for supper. Homemade."
"Really?" Naruto grinned widely before he blink, "Wait, I thought we has lifeline supply of ramen?"
"Yes, we still do." His mother nodded, "But Luna wants to learn how to make ramen and I'm helping her out, learning it as a bonus so we can have something new for lunches." Naruto looked at the rocker in surprise.
"I just want to do something nice for you and I know how much you love ramen so…" Luna shrugged her shoulders, "What's the harm in that. Beside, if mom and dad ever go out and you need a little break from cooking, I can cook some up."
"That's nice of you, sis." He smiled at her, "You're the best." He turned to his mother, "You too, mom."
"Thank." Rita smiled back, "Go tell everyone that supper start in ten minutes."
"Got it." Naruto left the kitchen with a nod.
'I hope that will take his mind off this bitch fast.' Luna thought to herself with a mental scowl, she was right to hate this girl the day she saw her making out with Naruto. She focuses on stirring the pot as she listens to her mother's directions.
"Um, hey." Lynn poked her head in Naruto's room as the blonde teenager looked up from his textbook, "Can I hang out here?"
"Sure." He gestured at his bed, "Make yourself at home."
"Shouldn't it be room?" She plopped herself on his bed with corked eyebrow, picking a DS up to turn it on and playing.
"You know what I mean." Naruto rolled his eyes amusedly, "What's up?"
"Nothing, just wanna hang out with you." Lynn replied as she selected an empty file, "That's all." The blonde teenager hummed as his eyes scan pages, "…You know I suck with whole feeling thing and I don't know how to help you out. Sorry."
"That's okay." He waved it off with a gentle smile, "You're tomboy who talk everything out with actions instead of words."
"Yeah, but I still feel bad." The tomboy lies down on her side, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes. "I wish there was something I can do for you."
"How about a hug?" Naruto tilted his head slightly, "Talking about it kinda drain me out." Sometime, it's pretty exhausting to repeat same things over and over.
"I'll work with that." Lynn hopped up to her feet then she give him a bear hug from behind and it went on for about two minutes until she break apart from him.
"Wow, that was pretty long one." He chuckled with a smile.
"You look like you need a long one." She muttered and he mess her hair up.
"Yeah, I did." The blonde teenager said, "Thank for that."
"Anytime." Lynn dipped her head slightly to hide her faint blush.
Naruto fill his glass with tap water and he notices his little brother approaching him. "Yo, lil bro, what's up?" He greeted Lincoln.
"Just checking up on you." Lincoln replied.
"I'm doing fine." He sipped his water bottle before he raises his eyebrow at his little brother as he check a phone in his pocket sneakily, it was so obvious and poor-done since he was doing it in front of him.
"Good, take it one day at a time." The white-haired boy quickly turned to him, "Don't lose hope."
"Um, was that Lori's phone?" Naruto asked, "And what were you looking up on?"
"Y-You saw that?" Lincoln looked at him with widened eyes as he gave him a nod before the boy groan out, "I want to help you get through breakup so I google some stuff up."
"That's nice of you but you don't have to do that." He chuckled lightly, "Plus, sometime things that you look up online don't work on people. People deal with breakup in many different ways."
"Really? Crap, that mean I have to go through a lot of links…" Lincoln pulled the phone out as he scroll down through webpages, "Hold on…" He texted, "How to help your big brother with his first breakup…"
"WHERE IS MY PHONE?!" Lori's voice shouted and the white-haired boy sharply looks up to him with ashen face.
"I'll get back to you later…" Lincoln muttered before he run off frighteningly.
"…If you survive." Naruto sipped his water bottle, hoping that their oldest sister won't kill Lincoln.
A couple days later, Naruto decide to sit outside on pouch since it's sunny and he hear a creaking sound of door behind him, causing him to glance over his shoulder out of curiosity to see his dad. "Hey, sonny, how you feeling?" Lynn Sr. plopped down next to him.
"Good, I guess." Naruto replied and they stare at the scene for few moments before Lynn start speaking.
"I'm jealous of you because you have great sisters and brother supporting you getting through this breakup." The father smiled, "I didn't have this opportunity when I was close to your age. I know how much it hurt after your first breakup…My first breakup was like yours, sudden and hurtful."
"…Really?" He glanced at him with blinks.
"Really." Lynn Sr. nodded, "It was during my second year of high school and I have a crush on a new girl from other town. We went steady after one date…" He chuckled at himself, "I was so very eager enough to jump in without thinking it out because it was my first relationship and everyone was doing it. At first, it was great and a month later…She left me for a hotshot jock. Worst part? She dumps me over a phone call because she said I'm too sensitive and wimpy."
"What?" Naruto gaped at his father, "That's...That's stupid of her! She shouldn't have done that to you, I mean leaving you for another guy! She doesn't know what she's missing out on!"
"Yeah, she shouldn't have left me but then I won't have met the wonderful gal and love of my life." He patted his son's back with a smile before he clear his throat, "I just want you to know that I understand how painful it is and I'd be lying if I said that the pain will be healed in time. It will stick to you for life and you will remember it once in a while…But that's good thing because you can learn from this experience and prepare yourself for anything like that in the future." He glanced at Naruto, "Don't worry, it'll stop hurt once when you meet a right girl who will take the pain away…Plus, you get us to lessen the aches." He scratched his head, "Um, you dig me?" He wasn't sure if he was clear about it.
"…Yeah, I dig you." The chuckling blonde teenager nudged his father with his shoulder, "Thank, dad."
"No problem, son." Lynn Sr. placed his arm around Naruto with equally chuckle and they remain sitting there for few minutes.
Naruto slide down a small hill to a small creek with a large flat boulder a couple miles away from his home and a little off from a nearby road, it was kinda his favorite secret spot with very few people. He lies down on the boulder, resting his head on arms as he stare at clouds. About seventeen minutes, a plastic bag drop on his stomach out of nowhere and he yelp out startled before he hear a light laugh then he look up to see Jackie as she sit down next to him. "Sorry, but it's your fault for leaving yourself opening." She smirked at him, Jackie happen to be one of few people.
"I'm gonna get you back, just you wait." Naruto sat up with a mocking scowl as she gave him another smirk before he opens the bag out of curiosity and he see two small ice cream cans with two plastic spoons. "Ooh, you get cookie dough ice cream?"
"Of course, it's your favorite." Jackie grabbed vanilla ice cream as they lift the lids and eating their ice creams. "That takes me back a little." She said after few moments of silence as she put her spoon in her mouth, "Except we were in different positions."
Naruto suck his spoon with few blinks before he pull it out with realization, "Oh, right. I came here to cheer you up with ice creams after Marco dumped you."
Marco was someone they met in middle school and he had a huge crash on Jackie at first sight. He was sweating and so nervous when he finally ask Jackie out and the skater decide to give it a shot because she thought he was cute in timid way. His family moved about four months later but she stay in contact with him for a long-distance relationship until he broke up with her because he fall in love with a girl named Star from his new school. Jackie was heartbroken for a while and one day he find her at this spot so he raced over to buy some ice cream and back to surprise her. He sits and listen to her all day as she vent out to him while eating their ice cream. They become closer as best friends this day.
"So is that where I start pouring my heart out to you?" The smirking blonde teenager tilted his head at her.
"Nah, I bet you already did that with your sisters." Jackie nudged him with her shoulder, "So we're gonna just eat our ice cream and do a little cloud game." She glanced up at sky, "What do you see up there?"
"Cotton candy." Naruto smirked and his best friend roll her eyes at him as they tell each other what they see in clouds, finishing their ice cream.
Naruto feel a lot better after hanging out with Jackie and he believe that he'll move on sooner. He jog up to his house's front door and he was about to open it but the door swing open, following by collide. He nearly fall down on his back but he manage to keep his balance intact and he look up to see a young British man in his earlier twenties. "You alright?" Naruto asked him after seeing his frantic expression.
"Y-Yes, sorry." The British man glanced back frantically.
"Hugh, come back! Don't go!" Naruto can heard some voices rushing toward them and he glance at him again.
"Hugh?" Naruto blinked, "You're lil bro's tutor?" He overheard Lincoln mentioning about getting a tutor named Hugh this morning.
"Yes, you might be Naruto, right?" Hugh looked back to him before he look over him from head to foot, barely notice that the girls and Lynn Sr. were running toward him. "Lincoln didn't mention that his big brother is very handsome and charming chap. It's a quite shaming that you're not old yet, you're my type." Suddenly, the girls skidded to halt few meters away from them with widened eyes.
"Hugh, don't go!" Lynn Sr. waved his arms up in air, "I want to tell you all about my experience in UK during my collage day!" But no one pay him attention.
"Oh, I'm flattered but I'm straight." Naruto shook his hand with a light laughter as he scratched his head with another hand, "Sorry."
"Damn, all good-looking men are always straight." Hugh shook his head with a chuckle before he realize something as he notice the girls, "Oh, I gotta run now before the yanks get their hands on me! Bye, nicetomeetyou!" He said rapidly without stopping as he run off, failing to notice that the girls weren't chasing him anymore.
"Stop him, girls!" Lynn Sr. gave chase, also barely notice that his daughters were staying behind in stunned state.
"Hugh seems to be nice guy." Naruto walked past the girls.
"…T-That is so humiliated…" Lori buried her face behind her hands and almost all girls share her sentiment. They didn't know that Hugh play for other team and they slowly remember all embarrassing moments, let's say they will never live it down for a while.
Halloween was right around the corner as several family members put up some decorations and there were some new horror movies coming out, one certain flick that Lincoln want to see when he show his parent a trailer on a smartphone. "He was a humble farmer until a drought ravaged his land." The narrator announced in the trailer video, "Now, he's found a new crop…Human organs! He is…The Harvester! Opens this Friday."
"Uh-uh, Lincoln, you are not seeing that movie." Rita shook her head with swaying finger, "It is too scary for you. He pulls around a cooler full of organs!"
"Mom!" Lincoln whined.
"You know how you get." The mother put her hands on hip, "You'll have nightmares. You'll think something's out to get you. You're just like your father." She walked away as Lynn Sr. pop up from behind the sofa with teddy bear.
"That is a total exaggeration!" Lynn Sr. fidgeted with shifty eyes and shaking knees, "On a completely different note, that trailer is never to be played in this house again."
"At least it's not another Saw flick." Naruto said as he hanged a skeleton up on a wall, "Or any gore movies like Hostel. You actually throw up for hours after seeing these trailers."
"…Please never mention the names of these movies…" His father whimpered with paled face, "Ever."
"Come on, mom." The young boy begged their mother, "I'm not a baby. I can handle it."
"No is my final answer." Rita held her hand up to him and he groan in disappoint.
"…Naruto!" He looked to his big brother with a wide grin, "Can you take me to..."
"Sorry, lil bro, mom said no." Naruto glanced over his shoulder as if he knows what he was going to ask him about, "She's right about you getting nightmares after seeing a scary movie. Remember how it turns out with Hill Have Eyes? You still thought that there were some scary hill people up at campground."
"Scary Hill People are real!" Lincoln cried out, "I saw them! Really!" Naruto shake his head at his brother amusedly, his reaction just proved it. The young boy trudge off after he asked his parent several times until he perk up as soon as an plan appear in his mind, he was going to see Blarney's Movie with Clyde in few hours and he can use this opportunity to sneak in to see Harvester.
He will regret it when he comes home.
Late at night, Naruto enjoy his dream until he feels someone shaking him in his slumber and he slowly open his eyes groggily to see his little brother. "Lincoln?" The blonde teenager muttered sleepily.
"Hey, big bro, wanna play video games or looking at some 'React' videos on youtube?" Lincoln smiled widely, seemly mixed with fear and hope.
"…What ti…" Naruto glanced at his alarm clock to check the time, "Three in morning?" He looked at his brother again, "Lincoln, did you have a nightmare?"
"N-No, I didn't go to sle…" The white-haired boy quickly coughed into his fist to cover up his nearly slip before he laughs weirdly, "I mean, I'm just too hyper because I ate a lot of candies today."
"…Lincoln, did you watch a horror movie?" The blonde teenager looked at him, he realize that he didn't go to sleep by the sound of his tone. "On demand or…?"
"Yes, yes, on demand!" Lincoln sweated heavily.
"…No, you didn't!" Naruto dropped his jaw at him, "You went to see Harvester, did you? After mom told you not to?!"
"How did you figured it out!" The young boy gulped with clasped hands, "Please don't tell mom and dad!"
"Oh…" The blonde teenager pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, "…I should say something right now but I'm too tired and it's late…" He scooted left as he patted the empty spot at his side, "Come here and go to sleep."
"I'm not going to sleep with you, I'm old enough to sleep on my o…" Lincoln crossed his arms before a squeaky creak cause him to jump in air with a yelp and he immediately dove under his big brother's cover, hugging his side with a wail. "THE HARVESTER IS INSIDE! HE'S GONNA HARVEST MY HEART OUT!"
"Relax." Naruto patted his brother's head with a yawn, "That was the wall creaking, it's an old house. You know that."
"B-B-But what if it's really Harvester?" Lincoln shivered, "And he's gonna…"
"Lincoln, nothing will happen to you because I'm here." The blonde teenager calmed him down, "Your big brother will protect you from anything, no matter what."
"R-Really?" The boy gulped nervously.
"Really." Naruto yawned, "I promise. Now go to sleep." He closed his eyes and Lincoln glance around in dark nervously until his eyes slowly close then he was out like a light, due to exhaustion. He feel safe with his big brother now…Until tomorrow when his parent find out that he went to this movie without their permission, they are so going to kill him.
And that end the seventh chapter of NL! Love it? Hate it?
Poor guy, he has to deal with post-breakup for a while but thankful, his family and some friends were supportful and try their best to help him getting through. I bet he learn his lesson about rushing into a relationship.
It's kinda little hard to come up with support scenes with some girls since I don't know what it's like in a large family, same goes for sisters and I don't want to repeat everything as much as I can in one chapter.
Well, I don't have any questions to ask but…What will come up next for Loud family? Let's find out in next chapter!
Anyway, I think that's all I can say for now. Thank you for reading it.
Please leave reviews and feedback here. The flames will be send to Loud's boiler.
